What is a Highlighted Comment on YouTube?
A YouTube Highlighted Comment is a comment opened via a notification link.
One way to demonstrate “Highlighted Comment” is to open comments from YouTube Studio.
If you own a YouTube channel, you can moderate comments from YouTube Studio.
Furthermore, if you click a comment from the comments section of YouTube Studio, the comment will open on YouTube.com.
When the comment opens, the phrase “Highlighted Comment” will be displayed above the comment.
The screenshot below is from Itechguides’ YouTube Studio account. When I hover over the video that the user commented on, it displays a link icon.
To open the user’s comment on YouTube, I click the link. See the highlighted portion of the image below – top right.
When the comment opens on YouTube.com, it will be displayed as a “Highlighted Comment”. See the highlighted portion of the screenshot below.
YouTube also displays “Highlighted reply” (HR). It works exactly the same way as HC. The only difference is that a “Highlighted reply” is a comment someone left as a reply to a comment.
The important thing to note is that a comment displays the phrase, “Highlighted reply” if the reply is opened from a notification link.
In the screenshot below, the comment is displayed as HR because I clicked on the link from the reply I posted to a comment left on Itechguides’ YouTube channel.

‘What does a highlighted comment mean on YouTube?’: What you need to know about the feature that helps you navigate YouTube’s comment section
On YouTube, highlighted comments serve many purposes. At a basic level, however, they are there to grab your attention so you can interact with the comment.
And, for clarification, only you can see them — they are not public. Here’s a more detailed breakdown of what highlighted comments mean on the platform:
What a highlighted comment means on YouTube
When you see the words «Highlighted Comment» appear above a comment next to someone’s username, it can mean several things.
For example, if someone replies to your comment on a video, you may get a notification. When you click through to the page, you’ll see that comment with the «Highlighted Comment» tag, thereby making it easier for you to find.
The same goes if it’s your video and someone posts a comment — when you click on the notification, the comment will become a highlighted comment at the top of the section so you can more easily reply to it.
When you click on a comment’s timestamp, whether it’s your video or not, it also highlights that comment, making it appear at the top of the comments section, even above a pinned comment.
Keep in mind that when you do that, the video will reload and the person who created that comment will get a message back that says, «Highlighted Reply.»
Ultimately, highlighted comments are a somewhat automated feature of YouTube that are meant to make your experience on the platform easier in terms of navigation.
They are neither good nor bad, and do not arise because a person chose to make your comment more visible on a particular video.
And whether you’re a user or creator, highlighted comments can be helpful when you interact with or make videos, especially when those videos have hundreds or thousands of comments, which would otherwise be nearly impossible to filter through.
